One of my first ideas for this blog was to do a 20 things you love in your life and I am finally getting around to it. I have always wondered what I would say if someone asked me to do that and now it's my turn. I think this is a great way to sum up who you are and what is important in your life. Plus it's fun. So here are mine:
20 things I love about myself and my life:
1. I love that I have a great immediate and extended family. They are all so supportive and fun to be around. I have realized that my family is the most important thing to me. Blood is thicker than water ( I don't really know what that means but I like it)
2. I love that I am in touch with my emotions. I listen to my body and do what's best for me. I cry way too much but I've accepted that's who I am and it's healthy to be upset and show your emotions.
3. I am thankful for everything my family has provided me with. I feel so fortunate to have grown up with a roof over my head and food in my stomach.
4. I am so unbelievably grateful for my 3 years at Loretto. They truly changed my life and I feel so lucky that I was able to experience 3 great years there.
5. I love that I have an athletic body. My body type is definitely not lean. I have a Doris body and I'm proud of it.
6. I love that I'm comfortable with who I am and have finally learned to just love yourself no matter what.
7. I love the community I grew up in. Rio Del Oro will always be home to me and I thank my coaches and teammates for making it a very special and memorable 10 years. I cherish the friends I got out of it and the goals I achieved there.
8. I am so thankful I was able to spend 4 years coaching for the Rapids. I had a true passion for coaching and I love that I was able to develop relationships with so many kids. Watching them grow and improve was so rewarding.
9. I love my sense of humor. I love that I can make myself laugh and my family.
10. I love that I have always been very mature for my age.
11. I love that I am creative. Being thoroughly entertained by making crafts and drawing has gotten me through long hours of work at the daycare, given me responsibilities and helps me relax.
12. I love the friends I have made from swim team. To Kelley, Rita, Marisa, Katie, Cashel and Kasey. We have all spent countless hours together and bonded over a love for Rio Del Oro. I love that we all love each other so much.The fact that we can only all get together once a year but we make it a priority and make it count is so special, I don't know many people who would do that. I love that we can always pick up right where we left off, the summers I spent with you guys were the best :)
13.I love that I can spend ALL DAY EVERY DAY with Madi and Morgan. We really have overcome so much together. Driving around blasting music in my car and the sleepovers we have are some of my favorite memories. One of these days I will make an actual quote book. Mama Bear loves her babies.
14. I love how much I laugh with Laura. Some of the things we do is so weird but they are hilarious.We have also gone through so much, the closing of Loretto and every 15 minutes made me appreciate you so much. I know our friendship is so strong because we don't need to talk everyday but the times we do talk are as if we talk everyday.
15. And lastly, I am grateful for how far my friendship with Michael has come. We have gone through more ups and downs than I can think of but we finally figured out how to not fight and it's so nice. I am so thankful that I was able to talk to him about my problems and he would listen. We are both growing up and so is our friendship which makes both of our lives way easier.
16. I love that I have learned from my mistakes. I have become a much more level headed and drama free person because of it.
17. I am thankful I am able to go to college. I appreciate my education and my parents support to go to college wherever makes me happiest.
18. I love that I am career driven. I love being able to support myself and reward myself for my hard work.
19. I love that I am an independent person.
20. I am so grateful I am healthy and the ones I love are healthy too. I am glad I know that even when things are not going well I can see the positive. Things could always been a lot worse and I am so thankful I have everything I do.
So I encourage you do to the same. It really puts things in perspective.
